Sodium SulfateStatistics and Information

Sodium sulfate, also known as disodium sulfate (Na2 SO4 ), is an
inorganic chemical that has several important industrial uses. It
is produced from naturally occurring sodium-sulfate-bearing
brines or crystalline evaporite deposits, and as a byproduct from
different chemical processes, such as ascorbic acid, battery acid
recycling, boric acid, cellulose, chromium chemicals, lithium
carbonate, rayon, resorcinol, and silica pigments. The byproduct
sodium sulfate is considered a waste product but has
marketability; both types of sodium sulfate, however, have several
important and useful applications in various consumer products,
such as in soaps and detergents, pulp and paper, and textiles.
